Saw this on reddit. What are the odds/chances of getting a whole block by yourself? admittedly I don't fully understand mining, just the very basics of it.
Solo Miner Mined A Bitcoin Block All By Himself |
This is I believe the 3rd time we've seen this in a few years. So maybe like once a year a solo miner is hitting their jackpot.

All of the current miners must have missed it. Maybe for hobbyists it did. ![[Image: ce4f256301eac390358281c2d04f7be3.png]](https://i.gyazo.com/ce4f256301eac390358281c2d04f7be3.png)

Small scale maybe? always new tech coming out. at this point its been monopolized and unless you take out a large loan to get started and constantly invest in stronger equipment, and pay for cheap electricity its a losing battle.

I could be wrong but I'm pretty sure mining chips (ASICS) are highly specialized and there's no real incentive to sell them if you can engineer them because-.. it's highly specialized knowledge, so you can just use the chips you produce to mine yourself, and earn more money you would by selling them and spreading hashing power out. I don't really do rep for rep so if you're using your daily rep on me save it for someone else ❤️
